I don't particularly need to go back to the 70s era. I don't mind seeing scoring. I just don't want teams scoring 35 points per game and losing 75 percent of the time.

I'd actually approve even more if they made offensive pass interference and illegal contact down field should be a loss of down penalty on the offense. As big a punishment as a PI call can be for the defense, it should be more painful for the offense as well.

It happened again once in the playoffs, but maybe we shouldn't talk about that. Anyway, in total, teams scored 35 or more points 66 times, 5 of which were losses, making it 7.6% of the time. You just missed a decimal point. |

I hope this is the last WCO the Chiefs indulge in.

They did it a couple of years. The year they had Terrell Owens and went to the Super Bowl, they threw downfield more than any team in the league.

Longer games = more commercial time = more ad revenue for NFL Sorry to ticket holders who have to sit through a 4 or 5 hour game, but since you're here, feel free to buy even MORE of our great NFL products . . . . (Thinks the NFL is okay with long drawn-out games) |

The Chiefs are a bit of an outlier. NYG was .750 when they scored 35+ points, KC was .500, and DAL was .333 The rest of the league was undefeated when scoring 35+ points. This does make me think... a game that had a final score of 10-7 would be called a defensive struggle, but a game that ended 27-7 would not be, while the winning defense performed the same in each. I might spend some time comparing the losing scores across several years to see if there's anything interesting there. |

With each passing season and regime, I become more willing.
